From working in a nursery I remember afew children doing this! One in particular had his mums silky nightie and she used to be mortified but he wouldn’t part with it!

I had a similar thing until I was 3ish... I put dummy’s on my fingers and rubbed the tip of my nose with them whilst having another in my mouth! Even now at 30 when I’m tired i rub my nose 🤦🏽‍♀️. So yeah I reckon your little one does find it comforting, not a fetish though 😂😂😂

I haven't noticed anything with ds (dear son) yet but my dd (dear daughter) who's 3 has a jellycat bunny that goes everywhere with her and she rubs the label inbetween her fingers when she's tired. She's always had a thing for tags on clothes as well

Yep. My little one pills it over her face. Like fully over her face and goes straight to sleep. Then I watch like a hawk for 20 minutes until I know she is in a deep enough sleep to take it away. These kids!
